Please Add Rationale For Patch Notes/Hotfixes

Funny how you failed to answer my question. Just to reiterate…What form of communication and how much of it would satisfy you? Obviously the claim that there is no communication is false. So what are you looking for?

A simple loaded question.

What answer do you honestly expect? Clearly you don’t think that’s been their objective so far. So what could Ion say that would satisfy you? Do you expect him to say…

“You’re right. We haven’t given any thought to class fun or balance until now. We’ll get right on that.”

The actual answer to this question would be something more like…

"We have always tried to put fun and interesting gameplay at the forefront of our game design. We implemented new features such as warfronts and islands. We continued features that worked well in Legion such as WQs and M+. I’m sorry that the playerbase has not enjoyed these features as much as we would have liked. We are currently working on ways to make these features more fun. But fun is a relative term.

As for class balance, we were going for a model where every class has its niche. We want each class to be able to excel at certain things, but not at others. That way in order to complete the highest level of group content I would benefit you to bring a variety of classes instead of just the OP flavor of the month. We are still working toward that goal. But class balance always has been and always will be a moving target. On every DPS meter there will always be someone at the top and someone at the bottom. There will always be one tank or healer class that is 0.5% better than the others. The class changes implemented in 8.1 address many of the concerns of the players in the best way we can right now. But this is an ongoing process. We’re going to see how classes perform in the new raid and other new content and base future changes on our data."

Would any of that satisfy you? What answer would?
